I always try to bring out easy recipes for y'all. Obviously because I love to cook an easy recipe. Though I love to play around with food and tackle a new recipe, I am not patient when it comes to cooking. Leaving the meat for marination for 30-45 mins makes me all jittery. Because, once I am in the kitchen, I need to cook. So, if the recipe demands an overnight marination, I would prefer that.
This is one of the easiest and crazily delicious recipe that I have cooked. I mean it, when I say it. I agree that I was a bit skeptical in preparing this, worrying about the tangy taste of lemon. But, Man! It turned out exotic.
The Lemon Chicken which I prepared is from Canadian Chinese cuisine, a cooking style invented by early immigrants who adapted traditional Chinese recipes to Western tastes. All you got to do is marinate, deep fry and mix in lemon sauce. Tadaa.... It's ready!
This crispy, crunchy, tender chicken can be served as an appetizer or as a side-dish to fried rice. Let it be on top of your menu for dinner or to simply munch on watching a football match.
